Should Parents Be Criminally Liable For Kids' Cyberbullying?

Should Parents Be Criminally Liable For Kids' Cyberbullying?

Two girls in Florida, 14 and 12, have been arrested and charged with aggravated stalking -- cyberbullying.

They allegedly tormented a 12-year-old girl named Rebecca so relentlessly that last month, Rebecca leapt to her death from a tower in an abandoned concrete plant.

The arrest came after the following post was made on the 14-year-old's Facebook account: "Yes IK I bullied REBECCA nd she killed herself but IDGAF." Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he would charge the parents if he could, but there were no "obvious charges" against them.

Bully. What does the word make you think of? For some people, it's that girl at school who always makes fun of them. For others, it's the biggest guy in the neighborhood who's always trying to beat them up or take their things. Sometimes "bully" means a whole group of kids, ganging up on someone else. No matter what situation or form it comes in, bullying can make you feel depressed, hurt, and alone. It can keep you from enjoying the activities and places that are part of your life.

When the Bully Is a Sibling

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/17/when-the-bully-is-a-sibling/

 

New research suggests that even when there are no physical scars, aggression between siblings can inflict psychological wounds as damaging as the anguish caused by bullies at school or on the playground. The findings offer an unusual look at an area of family life that has rarely been studied, in part because infighting among brothers and sisters is widely considered a harmless rite of passage.

Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals' offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children.

Not Cool

Bullying and Cyberbullying is "NOT COOL". Think twice before you decide to terrorize someone, what if the tables were turned.

Federal Laws
 
Although no federal law directly addresses bullying, in some cases, bullying overlaps with discriminatory harassment when it is based on race, national origin, color, sex, age, disability, or religion. When bullying and harassment overlap, federally-funded schools (including colleges and universities) have an obligation to resolve the harassment. When the situation is not adequately resolved, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division may be able to help.

Bully Free Zone

Did you know that boys who are bullied at least once per week, 4% had extreme thoughts of suicide compared to 1% for boys who were not bullied. And girls who are bullied often, 8% showed signs of severe suicidal thoughts compared to 1% for girls who are not bullied.

Say no to bullying in schools and online. Three effects of bullying/cyber-bullying are
suicide, anger and withdrawal, depression and anxiety. Some children who are bullied reach a point where they can’t handle the abuse anymore, and resort to killing themselves.

The increased incidences of bullying have caused great concern to many. As such it has forced society and the government to acknowledge the fact that bullying is real and is happening in schools and online, and has caused detrimental circumstances for all involved. Bullying has been present for generations, but has now taken a more drastic turn in modern day society.

The most known bullying which occurs in real life has now evolved into what’s known as cyber-bullying, where individuals are being harassed in the most extreme sense by people who taunt others through the computer. The effects of bullying can lead to: suicide, anger and withdrawal, depression and anxiety. Although bullying still hasn’t gotten the full attention that it deserves, there are many outlets that are being implemented to resolve the issue, in hopes that future generations won’t be affected by such harassments.

Help to end cyberbullying, it's just as hurtful.
